It depends how you set up your network on the qemu command line. If you use "qemu -netdev tap,id=hn0,script=no,downscript=no ...", you need to set up a tap. If you use "qemu -netdev tap,id=hn0 ...", you don't need to set up a tap if you have a "/etc/qemu-ifup" script.. But you do need to set a bridge on both cases.
